The programme mainly consists of financial support that helps people can pay their rent and buy food and medication. On top of that, there psycho-social aid and health care is available for those who need it. People who leave near or in the conflict area receive food and articles to keep them warm during the winter.

Ukraine Joint Response

Dorcas is the leading organisation in the Ukraine Joint Response and the aid is financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The organisations were able to support 26,000 people between December 2015 and May 2016. Working together has been effective because it reduces overlap in aid activities. Joint Response members train local staff together and share knowledge and expertise. Working together benefits all who are involved.
